Angela Hanson asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi Melanie! Thank you so much for all the delightful novels you've written. :) I love fairy tale re-tellings, and yours are no exception. ;) I recently started reading Marissa Meyer's "Lunar Chronicles" and was happily surprised by her brilliant idea of re-writing "Little Red Riding Hood"--a fairy tale I've rarely seen retold in novel form. Would you ever consider writing a "Hagenheim" book based on this story?

Melanie Dickerson Thank you, Angela!
Little Red Riding Hood is one fairy tale I have not thought much about retelling. It's not one of the romantic ones, so it's not one of my personal favorites, but you never know. If I could figure out how to make it sweet and romantic, I might write it. :-)
Thanks!

Cintia asked Melanie Dickerson:

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Hey Melanie, when does the Golden Braid come out? It may have already come out, but on the Internet I am getting very mixed answers and I don't want to go out to Koorong to buy it if it's not there :). I was also going to buy it for my friend for her birthday and I was wondering if it would be out by then. Thanks :) Rachel.

Mary asked Melanie Dickerson:

I love your books! :) The Golden Braid was just what I needed to read at the time that I read it. It blessed my life. Thank you for sharing it! Do your characters ever do anything that surprise you? Or does everything usually go to plan when writing?
